SAFETY INFORMATION
This meter is CUL and UL approved. This meter is designed to be safe
under the following conditions: indoor use, altitude up to 2000m, tem-
perature 5°C to 40°C, maximum relative humidity 80% for temperatures
up to 31°C decreasing linearly to 50% relative humidity at 40°C and rated
pollution degree 2. Caution and proper guidelines must be followed for
personal and product safety. Read this instruction manual carefully
and completely before using the meter. Lack of caution or poor safety
practices can result in serious injury or death.
• This meter is not recommended for high voltage industrial use;
for example, do not use for measurement on 440VAC or 600VAC
industrial power mains. The unit is intended for use with low energy
circuits up to 600VDC / 600VAC or high energy circuits up to
250VAC / 250VDC only.
• Use caution when working above 60VDC or 30VAC RMS as these
voltages pose a shock hazard.
• Always consider circuits to be energized. Never assume any equip-
ment to be de-energized.
• Always start with power off. Set the function switch to the correct
setting before making any measurements and do not change posi-
tion of the function switch during measurements.
• Never connect unit to AC or DC powered circuits when the function
switch is set to resistance, diode check or continuity ranges.
• Always disconnect the power when performing resistance, diode or
capacitance tests. Discharge capacitor before testing.
• Disconnect the live/positive test lead (red) prior to disconnecting
the common/negative test lead (black).
